More than 13 months after burning down on Easter Sunday 2015, J. Peters Restaurant has reopened.

Anderson fire crews said flames shot through the roof of J. Peters on Interstate Boulevard on April 5, 2015. It took them several hours to extinguish the fire.

No one was injured in the fire, and no cause was ever released.

Owner Jonathan Angell told WYFF News 4 that the new 7,200-square-foot restaurant reopened Monday, featuring some of the original staff, many of whom transferred to jobs at other J. Peters locations while the restaurant was being rebuilt.

"It's the same casual dining. It's good to have our bookends back--one by the interstate and another in downtown Anderson, eight miles apart," Angell said.
